Sustainability at Henkel


Our commitment to leadership in sustainability is deeply embedded in our values. Maintaining a balance between economic success, protection of the environment, and social responsibility has been fundamental to our corporate culture for decades. Our pursuit of sustainability is both long-term and entrepreneurial in nature, covering all of our activities throughout the value chain. Having invested many years of focused effort in the cause of sustainable development, we have built up an excellent reputation as a company with globally leading positions in this arena. And we are determined to remain in the vanguard of sustainability. That is why together with all our business units and outside experts we have developed a long-term Sustainability Strategy for 2030. With our revised strategy, we are building on our strong track record and what made us successful in the past. At the same time, we are aiming to address one of the central challenges we will face in the future: to decouple growth from resource consumption. At the heart of this strategy is the simple, yet challenging, ambition: to achieve more with less and to triple our efficiency by 2030. This requires all of us to pioneer new solutions and challenge the way we run our business and operations.
